Since we are getting Rinzler from SSC, Will Quarra be Next?
1:4 lightup feature please. Anything else would be a failure!
*Quorra
They hinted at it in a December video, but they haven't said anything about it since. Hoping it's after Rinzler as well.
Colossus, I'd pick up a Quarra from Sideshow if they made her.
1:4 lightup feature please. Anything else would be a failure!
I hope we do see a Quorra but not sure that it's likely seeing how she didn't release her likeness rights for the spinmaster toys.
but if the do in fact release a Quorra with Olvia Wilde's likeness, I sure hope they pic a better pose than they did with Rinzler
I don't think there was a right's issue with Spinmaster as much as they were trying to get product on shelves in a timely manner.
I was a frequent visitor on the Tron-Sector boards and a member named Wheat King claimed to be a Spinmaster employee. We were very confident that he actually was. Everything he told us on the boards came true and the admins were confident he was too.
This is what he said back in December:
"BlueTronWarrior Wrote:Hey Wheat, I read on another site that the Quorra figure comes with the helmet on because Olivia Wilde didn't sign off on her likeness, is that true? If so, is that issue resolved so we might get a figure without the helmet in a future wave?
Not necessarily. Action figures of female characters in a strong "boy" brand are notoriously poor sellers (April O'Niel). As ridiculous as it sounds to you and me, it is actually a good thing for toy sales that Quorra has a pretty cool looking helmet, and uses a katana. I would rather have her without her helmet (or at least have the option...especially since she ONLY wore it when driving the Light Runner), but history tells us that the "toy" buying boys don't want feminine figures. Collectors, of course (with more interest in females ), would disagree.
In this case, leaving the helmet on also helped get approval on the figure more quickly for the early waves, because it didn't need to go through talent approval. Needless to say, development timelines on licensed brands are much more tightly compressed than on non-licensed brands, so timing can be huge. Also, I don't remember knowing ahead of time how much of the movie she spent without her helmet.
All that being said, there does exist an Olivia Wilde-approved head sculpt that looks awesome."
Over the next couple of months he confirmed to us that Spinmaster's line was dead leaving some cool designs on the table. If they had continued we would have likely seen a helmetless Clu and Quorra and Kevin Flynn in his black outfit, as well as another Sam and possibly Gem. He has also mentioned that his employers had no interest in producing 1982 Tron toys.
Is there really still any demand for an Olivia Wilde sculpt?
